    Question about valve springs????

    I got a set of GSX-R camshafts from RapidRay on the fourms here for my gs750 and I am wondering if I should put in some aftermarket valve springs? The cams are .350 intake and .330 exhaust if that helps? I am placing an order from GS Zone for a few other parts and wondering if I should get some APE springs?

    I would go with the stock springs for a street bike, HD springs usually end up requiring hardened cam followers (rocker arms) maybe even a top end oiling kit Just don't go wild on redline. RacingJake may have some other ideas for you

      I've ran G4 cams with 355 lift on a 1100 head with stock valves springs. Just make sure you have enough valve to piston clearance, at least 60 thou on the intake side.

        Stock 1100 springs only have 30 lbs of seat pressure. You can run our VS1100S springs for years in a street motor without welded rockers.
